Jalen Brunson played 35 minutes at Madison Square Garden and never got to the free throw line once. His coach was not happy about it.

The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Knicks 115-107 on Wednesday night and ended New York's four-game winning streak.

Afterward, Knicks coach Mike Brown called Brunson's zero free throw attempts "pretty alarming." Brunson came in averaging a career-high 7.8 tries a game.

Brown wants a better whistle

"I have to go back and watch the film, but Jalen plays 34 minutes and has zero free throw attempts," Brown said. "That's pretty alarming."

Cleveland went 20 of 25 at the line. New York was a perfect 11 of 11.

"I know [at] one time the free throw advantage was 18-3," Brown said. "That's not why we lost the game, but you just hope to get a little bit better whistle when you're playing a good team because it's already hard enough to go win the game."

Brunson keeps it cool

Brunson finished with 27 points on 12-of-23 shooting. It was a bounce-back night after he went 7 of 18 against Milwaukee the night before.

He did not want to make it about the referees. "Sometimes you have to make adjustments, no matter how the game is being officiated or not," Brunson said. "Being able to adjust in-game is part of not just playing basketball but playing sports."

Harden lives at the line

The contrast was James Harden. He went 9 of 11 at the line on his way to a season-high 32 points. Donovan Mitchell added 23 and Jarrett Allen had 11 points and 14 rebounds.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 21 points and 11 rebounds for New York. Miles McBride scored 19 off the bench and Landry Shamet added 12.

Bridges sits again

Mikal Bridges played just 17 minutes and did not see the floor in the fourth quarter. He finished with two points.

Brown said Shamet and McBride earned those minutes. He added that pulling Bridges from the starting lineup would be a "panic decision."

"Mikal has a track record of playing at a high level," Brown said.

The Knicks fell to 6-5. The Cavaliers moved to 6-6.
